Since today was a traveling day I didn’t expect to have much to talk about however that changed when we drove by the hatchery this morning on the way out. There right in the middle of the stream into the hatchery was a momma grizzly bear with 3 cubs. We had to pull the RVs over to the side of the road and luckily didn’t get a ticket but we did get some good pictures. I took a bunch but will only post these three.
We also figured out what the fishing boats were doing parked in the bay all night. They had been restricted from fishing in the bay due to the salmon spawning and this morning was the first day they were allowed to fish. They sat in the bay all night so that they could start fishing at 6 am. They had huge nets that they strung out using a smaller boat to spread the nets. They had a limit, I have no idea what it was, and they took their catch to a larger boat for weighing after they emptied each net. Whenever the fleet got close to the limit allowed, they were given a time when they had to quit. I guess we were lucky to have been there on the day they could fish.
We are now at the Grizzly Lake RV park, it is at milepost 53 on Highway 1 heading toward Tok, Alaska. Remember I said in an earlier blog that we would have to come back through Tok on our way to Haines, Alaska. This is what you would call a bare bones campground. No water, no electric, and no sewer. You are allowed to use their bathrooms and fill up your RV with water but if you dump it is an extra $5.00. They do have free WiFi included. The price? $13.00 a night.
